Ch. 1 – The Bet
“They’re looking at each other in that way again!” Benji whined as he sat at the table next to Paul speaking just loud enough for the two in the next room to hear.
“I know! Make them stop, make them stop!” Paul screamed in mock horror.
“Oh shut up,” Joel spat lightheartedly as he smiled at Billy. Billy slid across the couch and gave Joel a peck then settling on the shoulder of his lover. Collecting an ‘ewww’ from the other two.
Lowering his voice, Paul picked up the tour itinerary, “You know we’re gonna be on the bus for the next 23 days straight. I don’t want to spend that whole time listening to them and their little sex-capades.” He said to Benji.
“I bet they couldn’t keep each others hands off for the whole 23 days.” He laughed.
“Seriously, I’d pay money to see them not be all lovey-dovey and horny.”
“Hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking?” Benji asked with a sneaky smile on his face.
“I dunno? Am I?”
Leaning closer to Paul, “I say we dare them, moreless bet them, that they can’t go without sex or anything like that for the 23 days of the tour.”
“How much money?” Paul asked with a skeptical look.
“Hmm, $100 each.”
Paul turned his head to look at the two, “Do you think they’d go for it?”
Benji shrugged, “Worth a shot.”
Benji and Paul went over to stand in front of the couch and Joel and Billy making out. “Ugh, ugh.” Benji said clearing his throat. Joel and Billy looked up.
“We have a proposition.”
After telling them about the deal Joel shook his head. “23 days is too long.”
Billy leaned down to whisper in his ear then spoke, “How about we raise the price?”
Benji smiled, “$200 each.”
Joel shook his head, “$250 each.”
Paul’s eyes went wide, “Benj, can I speak with you in the kitchen a moment?”
Once in the kitchen, “I dunno that’s a lot of money.”
“But we wont have to hear or see that for 23 days. 23 days!” Benji said pointing to Joel and Billy who were now staring at each other and sneaking kisses.
Paul frowned.
“Besides, they wont make it. We live with them, we know how much they have sex and jack off- they wont make it. But we’ll have at least a few days without having to see it.” Benji pleaded. “We could be $250 dollars richer.”
“Or poorer,” sighing Paul scratched his head, “I guess so. It’s not that much money.”
Benji smiled and pulled Paul by the arm back into the living room.
He stuck out his hand to Joel and Billy, “$250 each- it’s a deal!”
After finalizing all details such as; no jacking off, no porn, minimum of two 15 second kisses a day, and no fantasizing, Joel smiled up at Benji and Paul, “You know what that means though?”
Paul shook his head as Benji sighed.
“Tour starts tomorrow…” Billy grinned.
"Paul, you and I are going out!” Benji sighed. And they left the house for Joel and Billy.
